Making plastic out of air

I’ve always been sceptical about innovation magic. I invariably dismiss ‘best tasting’. I’ve yet to see a viable ‘water from air’ proposition, despite dozens of attempts.

But what about the idea of carbon-negative plastic ? Newlight Technologies has reportedly developed a way to pull carbon out of pollution in the air and turn it into plastic.

It sounds too good to be true, but I wouldn’t bet against it some day.
